Although opioids, NSAIDs, and neuraxial techniques are commonly used for post-cesarean analgesia, their side effects have encouraged the use of peripheral nerve blocks such as the transversus abdominis plane block.\n\nThe TAP block is a fascial plane block that provides analgesia by depositing local anaesthetic between the internal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles. Its efficacy after cesarean section has been demonstrated, particularly when long-acting intrathecal opioids are not used. However, the optimal local anaesthetic volume and dose remain unclear. Since the TAP block depends on adequate spread of local anaesthetic, larger volumes may improve analgesic coverage, but increasing the dose may raise the risk of systemic toxicity.\n\nTherefore, this study investigates whether using the same fixed mass of bupivacaine in two different volumes affects the analgesic efficacy of TAP block after cesarean section, hypothesising that the larger volume may provide better postoperative analgesia.",[26,27,28],"TAP Block","Caesarean Section","Postoperative Pain","NOT_YET_RECRUITING","2026-05-29",{"date":32,"type":33},"2026-06-01","ACTUAL",{"date":35,"type":20},"2026-06-06",{"date":37,"type":20},"2026-10",{"name":39,"class":40},"Cairo University","OTHER",{"id":42,"slug":43,"hasResults":11,"nctId":44,"briefTitle":45,"officialTitle":46,"acronym":4,"eligibilityCriteria":47,"healthyVolunteers":48,"sex":49,"minAge":17,"maxAge":50,"enrollmentInfo":51,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":53,"briefSummary":54,"conditions":55,"keywords":58,"overallStatus":60,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":61,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":62,"startDateStruct":64,"completionDateStruct":65,"leadSponsor":67,"locationsCount":70},"100632016","phase-4-comparison-of-post-operative-analgesia-in-patients-undergoing-lower-abdominal-surgeries-receiving-ultrasound-guided-block-with-dexmetomidine-vs-dexmethasone-100632016","NCT07508202","Comparison of Post Operative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Lower Abdominal Surgeries Receiving Ultrasound Guided Block With Dexmetomidine vs Dexmethasone","Comparison of Mean Duration of Post Operative Analgesia in Patients Undergoing Lower Abdominal Surgeries Receiving US Transversus Abdominis Plane Block (TAP) With Bupivacaine and Dexmetomidine vs Bupivacaine nd Dexmethasone","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* ASA I and ASA II BMI 25-35 kg\u002Fm2 Lower abdominal surgeries below L2-L3 leves\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Infection at block site Coagulopathy Antiplatelet",true,"ALL","60 Years",{"count":52,"type":20},60,[23],"Lower abdominal surgeries cause significant pain and can be managed by injecting local anesthetic agents between muscles of abdominal wall that can provide post operative pain relief and its duration can be prolonged by adding drugs to local anesthetic regimen",[56,57,26],"Post Operative Analgesia","Dexmedetomidine",[59],"Post opertive analgesia in lower abdominal surgeries","RECRUITING","2026-03-27",{"date":63,"type":33},"2026-04-02",{"date":61,"type":33},{"date":66,"type":20},"2026-06-26",{"name":68,"class":69},"Pakistan Institute of Medical Sciences","OTHER_GOV",1,{"id":72,"slug":73,"hasResults":11,"nctId":74,"briefTitle":75,"officialTitle":76,"acronym":77,"eligibilityCriteria":78,"healthyVolunteers":11,"sex":49,"minAge":17,"maxAge":79,"enrollmentInfo":80,"targetDuration":4,"studyType":21,"phases":82,"briefSummary":84,"conditions":85,"keywords":87,"overallStatus":60,"whyStopped":4,"lastUpdateSubmitDate":94,"lastUpdatePostDateStruct":95,"startDateStruct":97,"completionDateStruct":99,"leadSponsor":101,"locationsCount":70},"100613293","visually-guided-tap-block-in-laparoscopic-tapp-hernia-repair-100613293","NCT07264699","Visually Guided TAP Block in Laparoscopic TAPP Hernia Repair","Efficacy of Visually Guided Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) Block in Recovery After Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair (TAPP - Transabdominal Preperitoneal)","VIS-TAP-TAPP","Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18-80 years\n* Elective laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using the TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal) technique\n* ASA physical status I-III\n* Ability to provide written informed consent\n* No contraindications to regional anesthesia or local anesthetic administration\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Recurrent or strangulated inguinal hernia\n* Emergency surgery\n* Chronic pain syndromes or preoperative opioid use\n* Known allergy or hypersensitivity to local anesthetics (bupivacaine or similar)\n* Severe hepatic or renal impairment\n* Psychiatric disorders or inability to provide informed consent\n* Conversion to open surgery during the procedure\n* Technical difficulties preventing TAP block administration","80 Years",{"count":81,"type":20},100,[83],"NA","This prospective, randomized clinical study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of the Transversus Abdominis Plane (TAP) block performed under direct laparoscopic vision in reducing postoperative pain and improving recovery after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair using the TAPP (Transabdominal Preperitoneal) technique.\n\nThe study will enroll 100 adult patients undergoing elective laparoscopic TAPP hernia repair at the University Clinical Hospital in Olsztyn, Poland.

One of these options is local anaesthetic, which involves the injection of an medication into or onto the part of the body which has been operated on. The reason for doing this is to reduce the pain felt by the patient in the part if the body where the operation occurred.

Local anaesthetic drugs are given in different ways in patients who have just had the keyhole surgery on their gall bladder (this is the surgery that you are about to have).\n\nTherefore, the aim of this study is to compare two ways of giving patients these local anaesthetic medications following key-hole gallbladder surgery.
